Rotation Program for Select Mid-Level Career Staff

3. Establish an honors rotation program for select mid-level career
staffers. (1)

As the Carnegie Commission recently recommended:

The federal government should use its existing personnel authority to
create opportunities for selected individuals to rotate in the early
years of their career through environmental and risk-related regulatory
agencies, Congress, the Executive Office of the President, and, in some
instances, administrative offices of the Judiciary.[Endnote 16]

The Chair of the Regulatory Coordinating Group, in coordination with the
Office of Personnel Management, should be charged by the President with
developing an "honors" rotation program for select mid-level agency and
congressional career staff involved in regulatory programs. In the
meantime, key agencies with cross- government mandates like OIRA in OMB
should develop, on their own, strategies for rotating and exchanging
staff with regulatory agencies.
